Im not understanding the spider situation, but it sounds like a singular incident. I hope you weren't muting someone for posting a spider gif, out of context that sounds ridiculous and fairly concerning. If it was spammed sure but just for a spider? I'll assume this was at worst a one-off incident.

If a person asks someone not to post an image that they are uncomfortable/creeped out with I believe its common decency that you should respect the person's wishes. Asking people not to post spider images while the person uncomfortable with them is present is a reasonable request all things considered. Muting/warning someone for posting a spider image after the player expressed extreme discomfort with them and asked not to be posted seems like a reasonable response.  People can chat without posting images of them. I will say that a situation like this may differ depending on the topic/subject that is being asked not to post but at the end of the day, people deserve to feel comfortable/ not creeped out.
